Donald was born and raised in Mendota, IL and attended Northern Illinois University. After a short teaching career, Donald pursued his passion for law and attended Kent College of Law while raising five children. A deeply respected attorney in McHenry County for over 40 years Donald was a pillar of the community he served. Donald was the true measure of a man, a father, husband, and grandfather.
